Abstract: We show that the set of common zeros $ \mathcal{Z}_{Q,\mathbf{d}}$ of all semi-invariants vanishing at 0 on the variety $ \operatorname{rep}(Q,\mathbf{d})$ of all representations with dimension vector $ \mathbf{d}$ of an extended Dynkin quiver $ Q$ under the group $ \operatorname{GL}(\mathbf{d})$ is a complete intersection if $ \mathbf{d}$ is ``big enough''. In case $ \operatorname{rep}(Q,\mathbf{d})$ does not contain an open $ \operatorname{GL}(\mathbf{d})$-orbit, which is the case not considered so far, the number of irreducible components of $ \mathcal{Z}_{Q,\mathbf{d}}$ grows with $ \mathbf{d}$, except if $ Q$ is an oriented cycle.
